"Save Them" is an open-world 2D game where your goal is to explore an abandoned survival camp in order to look for a cure to bring back your zombified friends from the dead.  You are armed with only a simple pistol with very limited ammo and will need to use skill to avoid getting eaten.  There are three unique endings that can be unlocked which vary based on how you interact with the zombies throughout the game.  There are plenty of collectibles that are hidden across the small colorful map.  This game fits the theme of "There and Back" by relating it to the overall quest of the hero which is to retrieve syringes holding the cure and bring it back to his tent.  The concept also fits the idea that your zombie friends have been lost to the infection and need to be brought "back" to normal conditions in order to survive.  I hope you enjoy my first game. I worked tirelessly during the week trying to make the best experience possible.  Enjoy -Dylan.

This was a lot of fun! I like the variety of challenges getting to the syringes. I kept missing the entrance to the area in order to access the last one.  Remembered at the end about the different endings.  Very clever! Took a moment to realize how the mouse aim worked only because it's a bit different using both mouse and WASD for game play in a top down 2D game like this.  Makes it easier than if the gun firing in only a vertical and horizontal cross shape from the character were allowed. That would motivate certain movements to use the gun which would raise the difficulty a little. Gameplay was really smooth.  Last round of zombies surprised me.   You should check out the Super Nintendo game "Zombies Ate My Neighbors" made in 1993.  Very similar concept but with the 16 bit capabilities it really ramps up the possibilities with weapons, movement, gameplay, enemies, and objective.  Very cool!

I really liked the fact that there are multiple endings. The game was missing music and sound effects and felt really empty. There was a lot of inconsistent pixel scaling. I was a bit confused when the camera zoomed in when I entered the maze, I think having a fog would’ve been better or at least make the transition smooth
